This role is ideal for someone early in their accounting career who is eager to learn, adaptable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working through repetitive processes with a high level of accuracy. The right person will be open to feedback, willing to ask questions, and interested in growing into more complex accounting responsibilities over time.

·       Manage shared inboxes and respond to routine internal and external inquiries

·       Work cross-functionally with Procurement, AP, Finance, and Operations to support accurate rebate processing

·       Maintain organized records, data tracking, and supporting documentation across multiple manufacturer agreements

·       Identify opportunities to improve processes and increase efficiency within day-to-day accounting workflows

·       Build foundational knowledge in accrual accounting, revenue recognition, and rebate structures over time


What Success Looks Like

·       Day-to-day accounting tasks, reconciliations, and billing support are completed accurately and on time

·       Communication with internal teams and external partners is professional, responsive, and collaborative

·       Month-end responsibilities are supported with strong attention to detail and follow-through

·       You continue building knowledge, confidence, and ownership within the accounting function


What You’ll Need to Succeed

·       Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field preferred

·       2+ years of accounting, finance, AP/AR, internship, coursework, or related experience, or an equivalent combination of education and hands-on experience

·       Strong attention to detail and organizational skills

·       Comfort working through repetitive and process-driven tasks with accuracy

·       Basic Excel skills, including formulas and data organization

·       Strong communication skills and willingness to learn new systems, processes, and accounting concepts
